I wouldn't know.. because I haven't seen it. Anywhere I can see it at? All I know is that it's a parody of U2's "Numb" (unless I'm thinking of something else).

"Green Eggs and Ham" was originally a "video" that premiered on ALMUSIC #2 (For those who don't know, ALMUSIC is the Canadian equivalent to ALTV. It aired on Canada's MUCHMUSIC station). It wasn't really a video as much as it was a bit that was meant as a response to viewer mail from a pre-schooler asking Al to "read some Dr. Seuss." He sang SOME of the words from the book to the tune of U2's "Numb," while people rubbed their feet on his face, blew spoke in his face, and wrapped a rope around his head (all this is a parody of the U2 video).

Later, Al included the song in his "Food Medley," and then in the "Medley."

I haven't seen the Video but I downloaded it once. It's kinda funny.

What video? U2's Numb or is there a video for Green Eggs And Ham?

It's technically not a video, because Al couldn't release the song, but it's just the clip from the AL-tv that it originally appeared on, a parody (right?) of the U2 video--unless I'm sadly mistaken

Thanks for the info! And it is , indeed, a parody of the U2 video, Numb.
